Thinking about the switch from a compact camera to a SLR, but do you still not sure whether it's worth? We put in a nutshell what the benefits of an SLR, so you can choose deliberately.
Lenses change
a major advantage of an SLR is that you can swap lenses. So you can for each situation the best lens to take pictures. You have a great choice of lenses, like telephoto lenses, wide angle lenses and even lenses that distort the topic, such as fisheye lenses. This is exactly the picture you want. A disadvantage is that you need to carry different lenses.
Better image quality
the sensor of an SLR is greater that many mega pixels a better picture quality. If too many pixels on a small sensor to be crammed, like compact cameras, therefore noise. With SLR cameras, this is much less the case.
Better grip
SLR cameras are more stable because of their appearance in the hand than the small flat compact cameras.
Manually set shutter speed and aperture
An SLR has the advantage that your shutter speed and aperture manually set. This gives the photographer many new features. Making pictures with an extra long exposure, such as at night, is a possible, but also capturing action moment with a fast shutter speed. The aperture is of influence on the depth of field.
Shooting in RAW
another advantage of an SLR is that recordings can be saved as RAW files. These are raw images. They contain raw, original pixel information that is not processed by the camera or computer. Among others, white balance and contrast controls are not included. This gives the photographer the freedom to pure pixel information to work and all operations without loss of image to apply.
